Repeated letters in this list
54 of these words (36.2%) use the same letter twice — ADDED, AGAIN, AGREE, AHEAD, ALARM, ALIAS. Wordle colours duplicate letters from left to right, so a gray copy can sit next to a green one in the same row. The double-letter rules guide walks through how to read those rows without discarding a letter you still need.
